I've thought about that too. The problem is, my company would likely fire me if they were to find out that I was applying elsewhere. So far I haven't found anything that looks much better. The closest thing I found was an Android dev position with InnaMed. I am tempted to apply, but the commute would suck. Plus my home life doesn't really allow me to commit enough time to get up to speed. For now I'm looking at internal postings, although I don't see very many opportunities here either.

You sounds like someone who is in a abusive relationship and should get out.

Look for remote jobs, send out your resume non-stop.

Being worried about getting fired because you are looking is insane. Companies generally won't contact your current employer without a heads up.

That still doesn't fix my home life issues that won't give me the time to transition and learn a new company/language/tech/etc. I'm stuck and I'm thinking that's just how it'll be.

Get started on applying, the confidence that a new job will give you will allow you to transition/learn faster.
